Junior 2•4•1

For boys and girls going into grades 1 and 2 (fall of 2019)

While the times and dates of Junior 2•4•1 are the same as our traditional camp, the programming itself is age-appropriately different. In keeping in line with the “2•4•1 Crossover Effect” – we see it as so important that these youngest athletes crossover to our traditional program having had the most positive of experiences. With that in mind – our staff focuses on infusing skill instruction into serious fun! We want their first introduction to multiple-sports to be one where they leave asking for more! Junior campers don’t choose sports - we bring the sports to them!

Sport Choices

Life's 2 Short 4 Just 1 Sport

While most of our Sport Choices don't need explanation, we realize a few of our names do.

Universal Sports: Campers love that they never know what they'll get each day. Each year it varies and often involves community partnerships. Maybe its golf offered by First Tee. Maybe it's fencing offered by a local club. Or the Israeli dodgeball game known as GaGa. Whatever it is, you can rest assured, it's incredibly fun and the skills learned crossover to our traditional sport offerings.

Groove and Move: When 2-4-1 first started, it seemed that every day as soon as we put music on, the entire camp broke into a dance party! We took the hint and now offer this "rhythmic" and highly athletic activity!

2-4-Run is a fun introduction to the sport of cross country and the running events of track and field. Using a play-based approach, campers will learn proper running form, training techniques and the joy of running.

Testimonials

Adam and Team - We wanted to take a minute and personally extend our thanks for a great week with all the kids. We are so glad that we stopped long enough to take this camp in and not just focus on one sport all summer long. Both of our kids, along with several of their friends, came home exhausted with huge smiles on their faces every day. They loved absolutely every minute of it! This is a huge "atta boy" to you guys for putting your heart and soul into the program. Great job to you and the entire staff. We look forward to next year's camp already! - Doug and Jessica

Thanks again for hosting an awesome week. Your coaches did an amazing job teaching new skills to the kids. Both of mine tried new sports and I think that experience is incredibly valuable. My daughter wants to play tennis with me now - thanks to you guys! My kids had an absolute blast. - Rachel

I just wanted to let you know that it has been a phenomenal week for our son. He has been so excited to play lacrosse and in addition he was exposed to volleyball, capture the flag, and fencing! He is high energy and very active and was exhausted at the end of the day. I consider that a success. Not only did he get to play new sports but he made some new friends in the process. You all did a great job keeping the kids safe, the camp organized, keeping the kids' attention and exposing them to new and exciting sports. Thank you for all the hard work. - Jeff

Thank you for a fantastic camp! I was worried when my son was not super happy I signed him up for “camp” ... BUT he had a really great time!! He also connected with several coaches and older South students helping out which was great as he will be attending South in the Fall. I commend you on being one of the most organized camps either of my have kids ever been to (and there have been A LOT!) I also loved that we could pay for lunch/snacks in advance! I have already recommended the camp to several friends and colleagues who have younger kids. Thanks again! - Kerri
